Thanks Dirk and others -- I see the tradeoffs now. In my case, I think a
simple copy of source (just a few files), plus maybe some sort of
commit/tag reference to indicate where/when the source is coming from. -John

Thanks Jonathan, this is helpful. I'm just a bit concerned based on other
comments that submodules might not be compatible with CRAN and/or other CI
runners. Plus, I only want a few cpp files copied over.

Hi John,
first of all: I'm not an expert on this and don't really know if there
is a recommended way.
However, you may look at my 'rcpptimer' package and how it includes
'cpptimer' as a submodule.
You can find the repository here: https://github.com/BerriJ/rcpptimer
And here you can see 'c
Thank you Dirk and Thibault for your additional tips and ideas.
I took a look at the vignette for *rcppcorels* and noted that this is
exactly the model/pattern I used to create my package. And it appears that
the /src files are simply copied from the external *corels* C++ library
into the rcppcore
There is balance between DRY, safety, and customization needs. The
symlinkish approach would be "dangerous" imo, because you can't guarantee
the wrapper.cpp will stay compatible with changes in the underlying C++
library.
The submodule approach works well. Alternatives that I know of are:
- a
Thanks Ivan, this is helpful. I'll do some more research. It would be nice

non-standard ./src or ./data folder structure for my Rcpp package, but
these are the two relevant folders in my original repository. Maybe with
